Russillo was in a condo bedroom with ‘bloodshot eyes and slurred speech,’ Jackson police Lt. Roger Schultz told the News & Guide. ‘He couldn’t coherently answer any questions,’ Schultz said.

The Teton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the Sporting News that Russillo was being held there on behalf of the Jackson police department.

Criminal entry is a misdemeanor in Wyoming, with maximum punishments of six months in jail and a $750 fine.
